So, to respond to both of your replies, it helps to know what the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act does. The law prevents lawsuits against firearms dealers and manufacturers for the actions of people who misuse the weapons. The law allows general products liability suits (breach of warranty, manufacturer or…

Look at the images of the burns the woman suffered from a food product, one intended to be consumed, like poured into one’s mouth, and get back about frivoulous.

Source or proof of “lots of liberal white people, once you get them talking...”

It more like saying “If it’s legal for the general public to purchase something in this country, then it’s not the manufacturer’s job to self regulate it”, which sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Placing the responsibility on the manufacturer to prevent unintended uses of their product is a very slippery slope.

The problem is that, in the McDonalds case, they were both the manufacturer of the coffee and the seller of the coffee. A gun manufacturer cannot (legally) sell directly to a consumer. A licensed dealer is required by law. That means someone who the ATF has investigated (https://www.atf.gov/firearms/apply-license).…

Guns that kill people are not defective. Coffee that gives you third degree burns when spilled is defective.

It might be helpful to also point out that many see the Liebeck case as a prime example of frivolous litigation, highlighting a need for tort reform, and that other similar lawsuits since have been dismissed.

the McDonald’s coffee thing is a pet peeve of mine.....It was a defective product lawsuit

McDonald’s sells hot coffee without sufficient warning leading to unfortunate, but non-life-threatening burns ==> Negligence

i wish people would stop using the mcdonalds case because that isnt even what the issue was

Sorry to be nit picky, but the McDonald’s coffee thing is a pet peeve of mine. The case was badly reported in the media, the issue wasn’t that there was no warning about the coffee being hot. It was a defective product lawsuit, because some idiot at McDonald’s turned the heat up until it was literally scalding hot.…

My heart bleeds for these parents. They lost their children in the most horrific way imaginable and despite the blame that so many have in this, noone will be held responsible. I understand the judges logic here. It’s the same as trying to hold Ford responsible for an unsafe driver plowing thru a crowd. The car isn’t…

Well I never made that assessment, so we should be good. Self-loathing is often the fundamental feeling of a clinically depressed person, instead of conscienceless hate as the previous commenter insinuated; I didn’t say it was the cause of that debilitating illness.

Eh, I’d argue that the self-loathing is a symptom caused by the chemical imbalance. Plenty of chronically depressed people experience it.

As someone who’s had (non-suicidal) depression, I don’t think it’s being selfish so much as it’s depression blinding you to the fact that your death might be anything other than a net good. I don’t think train jumpers want to traumatize engineers, they just want to find a way out, and either forget that engineers…

Allred’s office also says she plans to comment on why so many new accusers against Trump are coming forward now, in the final days of the election.

Psychology graduate here to say:

i dont think it’s a ‘suicide is selfish’ take so much as ‘forcing others to be part of your public suicide is selfish’

you might say calling her - a person with a story that this article points out several times, no one knew well - a sociopath, is as evidenced and worthwhile as calling you a total narcissist. i can’t Know. really, at all. and yet, i Feel it. so i must Write it.

I was actually thinking of something different, you know that technique where it’s like caramelized sugar but in thin strips and kind of looks like spaghetti and very delicate? Usually arranged in a bird’s nest type thing. I couldn’t remember the name but that’s what I was thinking of but then I got stuck on floss…
